Are Hull sides set for Wembley switch?

Hull’s two rugby league outfits could be playing in the capital by 2016, the national game’s governing body has suggested.

But die-hard fans of FC and KR can rest assured that any matches would be one-off events rather than a permanent move.

Rugby league officials want to match their union cousins’ success in staging club fixtures at that sport’s national HQ, Twickenham.

Wembley, Loftus Road, the Olympic Stadium, the Emirates Stadium and Craven Cottage are reportedly all in the frame.

Blake Solly, general manager of Super League, told the Yorkshire Post that he is “reasonably confident” of having a couple of leading Super League sides battling it out in the capital in 2016 or 2017 at the latest.
